Just like comedians. They are always playing scenarios in their head and playtesting jokes.
- rawoke083600 3y agoThat's probably true for authors as well (not that I am one).

- waterhouse 3y agoBecause they want to talk about things from their life (which is because, among other reasons, having personal experience with the things they're talking about is rather helpful), and if they were saying how great their life was, that might evoke resentment. It also seems possible that the space of "funny things you can say about how something sucks" is bigger than the space of "funny things you can say about how something is good".
